Star Wars Fanboys to Protest Weinstein’s SuperHero Movie

Posted on Monday, March 24th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Stop Darth Weinstein

Star Wars fans are still very angry over The Weinstein Co’s horrible handling of Fanboys. Their movement has gained a bunch of mainstream press, including the New York Post, the Daily Telegraph, Vanity Fair, and thousands of websites. The group is now organizing Stop Darth Weinstein Protests in New York and Los Angeles on March 28th, outside two prominent movie theaters where Superhero Movie will be opening. Fore more information, click this link. Also check out this animated short film they made, which features Darth Weinstein in his Death Star company office, after the jump.

    what jackass would pay to see this faggotry anyways

  • The studio will do as they wish but the original version will definitely appear on a Special Edition DVD. It's become such a cliche marketing gimmick.

  • sean
    Yeah, I wasn't planning on going anyway.
  • Steelo
    Wow. People get shot over candy bars and 14 year olds raped...and yet... someone flashes a poster with an imperial shield complaining about a 3 year old movie and it's distribution and/or editing to get clout and press...anyway...

    I don't need prompting to avoid Superhero Movie. Nor should anyone with an IQ in triple digits.
  • If the protest is just over cutting out cancer boy.... I'm with them. Cancer boy should stay in the film.
    Otherwise, Fanboys should just go straight to DVD as is...

    I mean it has a very limited target audience anyways....and that target audience includes me. I'm a bit of a star wars fan...as anyone who has clicked my name can see.

    But TBH, I doubt I would have gone to see Fanboys in the theater... I would buy the DVD though. Just to add to my collection of "star wars related" films.. ie: my old vhs of Hardware wars. But the thing is I just don't pay to see films like that in the theater anymore... It looks funny and all...but I would rather watch it at home.

    I'll indirectly support "FanBoys"

    There's no way I would see "Superhero Movie".

    I'm in the 18-25 demographic... do I look stupid to Hollywood?
  • The movie might be insulting to the older generation of 70s and 80s.
